Hey guys.

I need some help regarding a friend's laptop. His wife accidentally switched off the physical wifi switch on the side of the laptop and when he turned it back on the light doesn't go on and the wifi also stays off.

Is there any way of turning the WiFi back on via Windows? The FN+F8 doesn't work since the physical switch doesn't work.

Laptop is a Toshiba Satellite A500-1DN and it runs Win 7.

Were in quarantine so any help would be greatly appreciated.
